Brent Robinson of IA Client Aurora Digital Signage Makes AB's 40 Under Forty
Brent Robinson, owner of Innovate Arkansas client firm Aurora Digital Signage, has been recognized as a member of the 2014 Arkansas Business 40 Under Forty list.
Here's the profile that runs this week in AB.
Robinson, 37, launched the Fayetteville firm last year with his wife Susan (pictured at right) as part of their Fly-N-Hog Media Group.
A sample from his 40u40 profile:
Digital signs had just the customization options that Robinson wanted, but when he shopped around for the software he needed, he didn’t find it — so he decided to make it.
“My best friend’s a patent lawyer in D.C., and he felt like the best thing for us to do was get the right people on board and create our own platform,” he said. “That way, later down the road, you would have the software as a major part of the business.”
So that’s why there are two companies: Aurora Digital Signage sells the technology, while Fly-N-Hog Media Group sells advertising using the digital medium.
Aurora's clients include the Museum of Discovery in Little Rock, the Chancellor Hotel in Fayetteville, White Oak Station convenience stores in northwest Arkansas, UAMS-Northwest in Fayetteville and Lakeside Public Schools in Hot Springs.
Congrats to Brent and the Aurora team for the recognition.
